Pain Points (Public)

Tabular business reports locked in static PDF documents cannot be directly sorted, filtered, or modeled, while manual copy-pasting causes broken column alignments, corrupted merged headers, and loss of native numeric and date data types.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Build an automated tabular extraction pipeline using pdfplumber and pandas to detect table boundaries, preserve cell hierarchies, and cast text values to proper numeric and date types, followed by openpyxl rendering to produce polished Excel workbooks with frozen header rows, auto-filter toggles, and auto-fitted column widths.
